A poem from the Boss
To end these blogs I sign off with a poem.
Gelbvieh
Gelbvieh are some of the best cattle breed,
You ask why Gelbvieh are the best, what a great question you ask
Gelbvieh are just the right size at about 1300 to 1400 pounds and your weaning calves that weigh a good 600 pounds
It’s always better than the Angus that weigh 1200 pounds at the most for the heaviest calves they wean are 500 lbs.
Then we look at feed efficiency of these cows and we see that the Gelbvieh is a husky eater,
but look at her she weighs 1300 pounds wouldn’t you get more than just one helping when you eat and look at the facts your average cross bred cow that’s genes look like a street map of Albany New York and weighs 1300 pounds she’s is going to eat just as much as that good Gelbvieh.
Then you look at the meat and it obvious that Gelbvieh is better for they are heavier marbled
When they go T-bone to T-bone a Gelbvieh steak will always be bigger than any old Angus steak
So now that we’ve looked at the facts that separates Gelbviehs and other breeds there’s no doubt whose better so Gelbvieh its what’s for dinner.

What is a cow man really? From the Boss
Here a word of thought to anyone who owns livestock what do you call yourself when you work with them. If you’re a cowman you probably call yourself a herder. A sheep man might call himself a Sheppard that herds his flock. Why do they call themselves herders when they watch a flock of sheep not a herd of sheep? They could just say they’re flockers, but in the end are we really what we say we are? Baxter Black thinks like this for he wrote a poem titled “Cow Disturber” and it asks the question that I just asked and he came up with the instead of calling ourselves cow herders cow disturbers. Cow disturbers think about it and it starts to make sense. When a calf is sick what do we do with him we get him up and either rope him or run him down an ally. In the end to both situations they get squeezed and have needles that could have been uses as rifle barrels in WWII stuck into them and medicine delivered to them. When a pregnant heifer starts getting antsy and she’s close to do we get up every hour and go check her. We shine a flashlight in her eyes and see if that will help provoke her into labor. To tell whose calf belongs to whom we brand them and look at that from the calf’s point of view. Not that fun looking is it. All in all we are just trying to help these animals, but still were not exactly herding these animals so maybe we should start calling ourselves Cow Disturbers.
Feed Efficency from the Boss
For all you Angus people out there I bet you think that your Angus are pretty feed efficient and I’m not going to deny it they do a pretty good job of not eating too much and gaining pretty good. But here something you don’t think is true Gelbvieh are more feed efficient than Angus and I know your stunned right now, but let me explain. For my third article I am used an article in the May 2009 Gelbvieh World about one producers story of feed efficiency. I think that this article really puts into perspective that Gelbvieh is the best cattle breed because the test that was conducted was not only conducted on Gelbvieh, but on Angus, Balancer and is now being conducted on Maintainer and Lim-flex heifers.
Steve Munger is the man who conducted the experiment. He manages the Eagle Pass Ranch in South Dakota. In 2006 when he attended the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) convention he became interested in feed efficiency when they had sessions about residual feed intake and feed efficiency. Munger used the Grow Safe feeding system that measures individual feed intake. It consists of 15 Grow Safe nodes that are 40 ft. by 80 ft. and 8 to 10 head of cattle eat per node. The nodes are contained in a three sided building. When one of the cattle eat the data of how much they eat and of what of the ration was consumed it is sent wirelessly to a dedicated computer in the farm office. To ensure that if there is ever a computer crash the data is saved to an external hard drive every 10 minutes. The first tests were done in November 2007 with a group of bulls. After the bulls they did it to the replacement heifers and then steers that were later slaughtered and carcass tested. To this point Eagle Pass Ranch has completed the Residual Feed Intake (RFI) on 93 Angus cattle, 140 Gelbvieh cattle, and 293 Balancer cattle. A RFI takes 70 days to complete. The test animals are weighed when they come into the ranch. The beginning weight is sent to the University of Missouri with the feed intake data to be processed. They use Maximum R2 accuracy indicator value .70 and Eagle Pass has been seeing results of .65 to .68.
Two of the bulls tested in the first round one of RFI was a Gelbvieh, EGL Northern wind, and the other was an Angus bull, GAR Integrity. Both bulls were A.I. sires. Northern wind tested below zero 71.1 % and Integrity tested above zero 58.4 %. That is a $20.75 feed efficiency advantage for Northern Wind progeny so it is more expensive to feed the Angus sire. So this article Seals the envelope, puts the final nail in the coffin for the Angus being better than Gelbvieh. With this final article showing that Gelbvieh is more feed efficient and the best cattle breed.

Something We can all agree on from the Boss
I just read a great poem that beef men on both sides of the isle can agree upon. Both Gelbvieh and Angus people can agree that when it comes spring and you’re out in the freezing cold and if it's not cold the knee deep mud checking heifers to see if any are going to calve tonight and then that one does, but oh what's wrong she started over an hour ago and s and it is about Mr. Dewey’s calving technique were he uses a calving chain around the in trouble calf’s foot then he puts a modified hay hook on the chain. After he puts the hook on he puts his mud boots through the hook and pushes down on the cow while he pulls with his foot. One time however he came straight from town with his city shoes on and not his mud boots and his feet went through the hook and the cow drug him through the prairie banging him up well and giving him a moldy cheese looking shiner upon his left eye. He hasn't gotten very far all I can see is a foot and it looks like a backwards foot. So what do you do, you go get the bucket and put the water in it and put the soap in it to help make everything more clean when this calf comes out. Then you put your hook and chains in the warm soapy water and pull out the pulling rig. You go out and put the chains on feet sticking out and hook it up to the rig and pull the calf. Boy it's a biggen this time. Needless to say it's no fun when you have to pull a calf at two in the morning. Baxter Black however doesn't do it the same way. In his anthology Cowful of cowboy poetry there is one titled Mr. Dewey's Hook and chain.

Letter to Mrs V
I sent the letter to your email. It should be on their. If its not, then I will redo that one.
My third Article Reason
I chose this last article because it shows us how sweet it is when the knicks add sweetney and dash of lampe to there records. It also shows how amazing it was when the New York Knicks were ''swishing and dishing.'' THat was what the poem said.
My Third Article
Building a championship team in the National Basketball Association is a little like making a cake. You need several ingredients, the right chemistry, and with a little luck, your cake will raise to championship glory, where victory satisfies everybody's sweet tooth.
That might be an over-dramatized analogy, but last night the New York Knicks, under their roof, in their kitchen toyed with the flavor of their cake, landing 6-foot-8 Georgetown forward Mike Sweetney with the ninth pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft at Madison Square Garden.
In the process, the Knickerbockers also pulled off the steal of the draft, grabbing 6-foot-11 Polish forward Maciej Lampe with the 30th pick, early in the second round. Lampe was considered a lottery pick at the start of the evening, but slipped down in position because of contract issues that could keep him away from an NBA roster anytime soon.
The Knicks were certainly shaking and baking on draft night for the first time in a long time and were even bold enough to take a project in the third round (39th overall) in the name of 7-foot-4 center Slavko Vranes from Serba/Montenegro.
Maybe the Knicks should just draft big men from Georgetown, since the last time the franchise tabbed a Hoyas player in the first round, New Yorkers were privileged to see the legendary Patrick Ewing grace the hardwood for 15 seasons at the World's Most Famous Arena.

My Second Article Reason
I chose this article because it talks about the teams first victory in the whole season. The article said ''but unlike Coach K and Calhoun, every one of Boeheim's wins has come with the Orange.'' I didn't quite get that medaphor. It relates to NBA, me, and the college games.
My Second Article
Boeheim Goes for #800
Monday November 9, 2009
With his first victory of the 2009-10 season, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim will reach the 800-win plateau. He'll be just the eighth coach in men's basketball history to reach number 800. Among active coaches, only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Connecticut's Jim Calhoun have more W's -- but unlike Coach K and Calhoun, every one of Boeheim's wins has come with the Orange.
The Orange open their season at home against the University of Albany on Monday, November 9th in the first game of the 2k Sports Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Ordinarily, we'd pencil in a W when Syracuse faces a team from the America East... but don't forget, Boeheim and company lost an exhibition game to Division II LeMoyne last week. An uncharacteristically slow start shouldn't surprise anyone.

first Article reason
I chose this article because it talks about the Chicago Bulls. This is a good article because it shows different events from the Chicago Bulls. It also talks about the different famous NBA stars and their special moves.
First Article
The Chicago Bulls are Totally 80s
Monday November 9, 2009
NBA players have subjected an unsuspecting public to a lot of bad music over the years... from Shaquille O'Neal's collaborations with the Fu-Schnickens to Ron Artest's Tru Warier label to Tony Parker's French rhymes to J.J. Redick's forthcoming album.
(I admit, I've yet to hear the musical stylings of J.J. Redick. Perhaps it's unfair to suggest his album will be awful. But I'm not too worried that he'll prove me wrong on that point.)
But none of those musical crimes come close to the 2009-10 Chicago Bulls singing the greatest hits of the 80s.
In fairness... maybe these guys weren't that familiar with the source material. After all Derrick Rose -- whose version of the theme from Ghostbusters could be used to make the most hardened criminals spill their guts -- was born in 1988. (That's four years after the movie was in theaters.)

My writen poem reason
I chose this poem to write because I have done that same mistake in my years of playing basketball. I'm sure it has also happened in the NBA. It talks about competativeness in the game. It also talks about not quiting the game. Even if you were the one that lost the game for the team.
BUZZER BEATER BLUES
I missed the last shot of the game,
For shame, for shame, for shame.
You can give it all you got,
But alas, you missed the last shot.
All game your team has fought,
But you denied them what they sought.
They all pat you on the back,
But it feels harmful as a tack.
Even though you have taken a fall,
You still pick up your ball.
And move forward all and all.

My third poem reason
I chose this poem by Ramona Thompson because it relates to the NBA games. Actually, it is a poem about the NBA teams and games. It talks about the Orlando Magic being in the Playoffs. It tells us that the fans are down, but not out of the stadium. It shows the pressure that the Magic has on them because it is the last game, if they loose. If they win they go on to the next playoff round. This also relates to the high school basketball games. It is always competative.
My third poem
Magic fansDown but not outNot by a long shotSo please don't give up hope'Cause there's still a lot of timeThere's still a chanceFor your team to pull this one out of the fire and winNo need to worryNot just yet anywayAfter game 3 tomorrow nightIf the Magic loses againThen maybe you might wanna start sweating those bulletsThen maybe those curse words you might wanna start droppingJust a little friendly adviceSomehow, somewayMaybe the underdogs can pull off a miracleOr maybe notI guess it all dependsOn who has trained betterOn who wants it moreHopefully that will be your guys2009 could still be your yearIf not than have no fear'Cause there's always next yearThe good ole 2-0-1-0A time, a chanceFor your team to rise up above the horror of being called a zeroTo at long last become NBA heroes!
My second poem reason
I chose Rudi Plays Basketball because it relates to me alot. For one, it relates to me because he spent decades playing basketball. I haven't spent decades playing basketball, but I have spent a long time on basketball. It also says that he has a good jump shot. I have a pretty good jump shot. This whole poem relates Rudi, me, and the top 10 greatest NBA teams of all time.
my second poem
Rudi spent nearly a decade playingbasketball. He had a good jump shotbut never was a star because healways wanted both teams to win. He was more interested in having fun. It was the same in other sports
.Later, he wished he had spent thattime learning a musical instrument, painting
or writing. But he did findan application for his skill when hedelivered newspapers by car in collegein an old Peugeot with a sun roof.Some customers got up early to seehis almost perfect accuracy throwingnewspapers from a moving vehicleonto their porches through the sunroof. A few even applauded.

Something for the Angus people to think about from the Boss
Everyone knows who Baxter Black is and he has the best poem for Angus people. If Herefords were turned Black and Angus were Turned Red would Angus breeders than breed Herefords because they were black like there Angus. It’s happened to the Gelbvieh already with the Angus asking for help and the good people of Gelbvieh letting them use our good bulls and cows that they have now created the Balancer which is pretty much a black Gelbvieh. I no longer have to think about what I would do in the event because it’s happened to the Gelbvieh and I accepted it and now have a Black Gelbvieh Balancer bull. So the question is if all the black Angus in the world now turned into red cattle overnight or were bred until they were all red what would you do? Would you start breeding another breed like Gelbvieh or would you sink to breeding Brahma cattle with all their loose skin. You would have to move to Texas just so they wouldn’t die of the cold. So Angus is it just the color you like, is it the meat or just the cattle. I know I like Gelbvieh not for their color, but for what the cattle are. Easy keeping, good eating, and just tall around the best cattle of all time.
song not poem
They fall in lineOne at a timeReady to play(I can't see them anyway)No time to loseWe've got to moveSteady your helm(I am losing sight again)[Bridge]Fire your guns,It's time to run,Blow me away.(I will stay unless I may)After the fall, We'll shake it off, Show me the way.[Chorus]Only the strongest will survive,Lead me to heaven when we die,I am a shadow on the wall,I'll be the one to save us all.There's nothing left,So save your breath,Lying in wait.(Caught inside this tidal wave)Your cover's blown,Nowhere to go,Holding your fate.(Loaded I will walk alone)[Bridge]Fire your guns,It's time to run,Blow me away.(I will stay, unless I may)After the fall,We'll shake it off,Show me the way.[Chorus]Only the strongest will survive,Lead me to heaven when we die,I am a shadow on the wall,I'll be the one to save us all.You wanted it back (Don't fight me God!)Here it goes!Die! [Chorus]Only the strongest will survive, Lead me to heaven when we die,I am a shadow on the wall,I'll be the one to save us all.
This song was written by Breaking Benjamin it’s called Blow Me Away it was written for halo 2 and can only be bought off the halo 2 CD. It really doesn’t talk about the game but I think the verse “I will stay in the mess I made”. Refers to the fact that Master Chief let out the flood basically and he has to stay and fix it.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to save the United States from nuclear attack. The United States Government will not prevent this attack. As you probably suspect, they have been very busy for five years provoking it and clearly intend to continue doing so. The part of the world paying attention to U.S. imperialism now knows the U.S. people will not only allow it, they will support and encourage it. They will re elect it This puts much of the attentive world between Iraq and a hard place.However, there is a percolating hatred of growing numbers of attentive warriors who are correctly advised the only way Americans will take control of a runaway monster of government, is a concerted policy of nuclear shock and awe. They know what it takes to get our attention. The occasional threats of George Bush to use preventive or preemptive attacks on anyone considered a threat to U.S. security (oil and corporate profit) and his occasional declaration of doing so with nuclear weapons has become the model for the global resistance.Did it surprise you to learn North Korea and Pakistan were trading weapons technology and Pakistan was selling plans and nuclear technology? Perhaps you still have not heard. Are North Koreans radical Islamic terrorists? It doesn\'t matter, does it? People all over the world need protection from the U.S. shock and awe bully boys and no non nuclear power can even negotiate because Satan does not speak to evil. Who is like unto the U.S. to have the whole world shaking in its boots? Pretend whatever helps you sleep at night, nuclear weapons scare bully boys and level the battleground. All of a sudden, or not, conventional military superiority only matters when applied against inferior militaries and civilians, as in Dresden, Germany, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan over sixty years ago. What goes around comes around, unless of course, God loves you. Then you get a pass - or as many as you need. Feeling better now?Picture this: On a bright sun shiny day, ten oil and cargo ships chug toward the U.S.. Each is equipped with two medium range nuclear missiles and launchers. Both targeted for the same U.S. city, as accurate as our own. If the left one doesn\'t get you, the right one will. For all we know they could be our own. Is there a limit to government treason? There is none. When all ten ships, each with a different population target, are in position, at a certain time of night, the launch command is given. Within minutes, ten population centers are destroyed. Not one anti missle system ever launched a missile and would have done no good if they had, due to the short time and distance. Unlike 911, this one won\'t be televised.What will our national government be doing the following morning? Will they be launching all \"our\" nukes? What will the targets be? Iran and North Korea? No matter, Washington D.C. would be a target if there was only one. Then who would the Strategic Air Command target, Caracas? The attack ships could chug into U.S. ports and unload their legitimate cargos if the port was not in a target zone.The following morning more than half the U.S. military is deployed overseas and the remaining military has no central command. This would be an excellent time for armed evil doers to visit the U.S. in a huge airlift to liberate our people from the tyranny attempting to replace the former one. Preemptive government of an angry, unruly people. In the following weeks the United States would look a whole lot like Iraq does now, unless there were at least a million occupiers maintaining law and order for the 150 million survivors.If only there was some way the American people could neutralize the threat the U.S. Government now poses to the world. This would make a decisive nuclear attack unnecessary. We only need read the U.S. Declaration of Independence to see we have a right and duty to dismantle this global threat we have created and allowed to dictate conditions to the world. We would still have state governments to maintain law and order and a loose confederation could provide real money or an interest free credit system. Whether Americans choose the non violent option or the nuclear one, we will need a post attack plan for reorganization. At this point in time, we have minds in high schools and universities which could come up with several good plans. Or is no plan what it means to be American? Maybe we should tune in to Jericho (CBS) and see how TV screenwriters solve the problems.
Angus Poem written by Homer
Angus Poem from Homer
Angus Rules Gelbviehs drool a lot,
Angus are superior Gelbviehs are horribly ugly,
Choose the Angus not gelbvieh.
Angus Rules Gelbviehs drool a lot,
Angus are superior Gelbviehs are horribly ugly,
Choose the Angus not gelbvieh.
This is my first poem
Halo 3 SonnetThe Chief heads to Earth to finish the fight.As a Spartan trained from age six to kill, Even the Covenant can’t stop his might.He must halt the Ark or all will be still.The Covenant race to the human home, Following the Great Journey they had planned.*Here to find and activate the Ark dome, and the rings that they do not understand.*Under the African sand the Ark waits, Powers more valuable then all gems.The secret that it holds will seal doomed fates, yet it can protect those that it condemns.Without Cortana the Chief still defends, like she said “This is the way the world ends.”
It basically tells you the main story stopping the Covenant and blowing up the Ark. This speech kind of reminds me of the opening of 3 because there are a few lines out of the poem that are in the opening. It also mentions the two main people in the game Master Chief and Cortana. The line without Cortana the Chief still defends is the separation of the main characters.

ANGUS CATTLE
, breed of black polled (hornless) beef cattle, originated in Scotland and introduced in 1873 to the United States, where they have become well established. Often called Black Angus or Aberdeen Angus cattle, they have low, compact bodies and are noted for the fine quality of their flesh. As a breed, they lack the size of Shorthorn and Hereford cattle. In recent years, the Red Angus breed of cattle has been derived from red cattle born in registered black herds. www.questia.com
I chose this article because it just simply tells about the Angus breed.

A Nuclear holocaust is the possibility of a nearly complete annhilation of human civilization by nuclear warfare and weapons . Under this scenario, all or most of the Earth is made uninhabitable by nuclear weapons in future world wars or possibly world war 3.
A common definition for the word "holocaust" is "great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire." The word is derived from the Greek term "holokaustos" meaning "completely burnt." Possibly the first printed use of the word "holocaust" to describe an imagined nuclear destruction is Reginald Glossop's 1926: "Moscow ... beneath them ... a crash like a crack of Doom! The echoes of this Holocaust rumbled and rolled ... a distinct smell of sulphur ... atomic destruction." In the 1960s the principal referent of the unmodified "holocaust" was nuclear destruction. Since the mid 1970s the capitalized term "Holocaust" has been closely associated with the Nazi mass slaughter of Jews (see Holocaust) and "holocaust" in its nuclear destruction sense is almost always preceded by "atomic" or "nuclear".
Nuclear physicists and authors have speculated that nuclear holocaust could result in an end to human life, or at least to modern civilization on Earth due to the immediate effects of nuclear fallout, the loss of much modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses, or nuclear winter and resulting extinctions.
Nuclear holocaust in popular culture
The theme is widely used in dystopian fiction books, films, and video games.
One of the first depictions of a nuclear holocaust is included in Olaf Stapledon's celebrated Last and First Men (1930). Unlike the post-1945 treatment of the subject, where the disaster is almost invariably the outcome of a war between states, Stapeldon depicts this holocaust as the result of class war between an arrogant ruling class and downtrodden miners in a future civilization. Abuse of the newly-discovered Atomic power source leads to what would now be called a chain reaction engulfing the entire world, so that "of the two hundred million members of the human race, all were burnt or roasted or suffocated - all but thirty-five, who happened to be in the neighborhood of the North Pole" (and from whom humanity is eventually regenerated for many more millions of years of existence).
Throughout the Cold War, nuclear holocaust was something many people in the developed world were afraid of because of a perceived likelihood of it occurring. The topic became somewhat less common after the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, as many of the works created during the Cold War were primarily just commentary on that conflict. Asiatic work that deals with the theme and western work influenced by it often borrow much imagery from American atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II in 1945. To this date, those bombings and the failure of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 remain the only nuclear disasters from which authors and screenwriters can draw real world experience with the aftermath of such instances.Authors, directors, and game designers have approached the topic from a variety of angles and in every major media. Novels such as the Hugo Award-winning A Canticle for Leibowitz tell of a reemerging civilization several hundred years after the bombs fell, likening the civilization of the North American survivors to that of the dark ages in Europe. In other works, such as the Fallout series of video games, nuclear holocaust is used as a backdrop to a dystopian tale of mutant monsters and beasts. In many of these works, a partly forgotten nuclear holocaust. I picked this artical because it explains what a nuclear holocast is.
A common definition for the word "holocaust" is "great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire." The word is derived from the Greek term "holokaustos" meaning "completely burnt." Possibly the first printed use of the word "holocaust" to describe an imagined nuclear destruction is Reginald Glossop's 1926: "Moscow ... beneath them ... a crash like a crack of Doom! The echoes of this Holocaust rumbled and rolled ... a distinct smell of sulphur ... atomic destruction." In the 1960s the principal referent of the unmodified "holocaust" was nuclear destruction. Since the mid 1970s the capitalized term "Holocaust" has been closely associated with the Nazi mass slaughter of Jews (see Holocaust) and "holocaust" in its nuclear destruction sense is almost always preceded by "atomic" or "nuclear".
Nuclear physicists and authors have speculated that nuclear holocaust could result in an end to human life, or at least to modern civilization on Earth due to the immediate effects of nuclear fallout, the loss of much modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses, or nuclear winter and resulting extinctions.
Nuclear holocaust in popular culture
The theme is widely used in dystopian fiction books, films, and video games.
One of the first depictions of a nuclear holocaust is included in Olaf Stapledon's celebrated Last and First Men (1930). Unlike the post-1945 treatment of the subject, where the disaster is almost invariably the outcome of a war between states, Stapeldon depicts this holocaust as the result of class war between an arrogant ruling class and downtrodden miners in a future civilization. Abuse of the newly-discovered Atomic power source leads to what would now be called a chain reaction engulfing the entire world, so that "of the two hundred million members of the human race, all were burnt or roasted or suffocated - all but thirty-five, who happened to be in the neighborhood of the North Pole" (and from whom humanity is eventually regenerated for many more millions of years of existence).

article 1
I like this article. I choose this article because I agree that family makes everyone happy. Even if you don’t get along with your family it is hard to stay mad at someone in your family. Even a really dysfunctional family like mine is still really close. There is no good or bad families. One thing that some families do that I think is stupid is stressing out about getting everyone something good for their birth day or Christmas, it doesn’t matter what the gift actually is if your giving it to a family member. It’s the thought that counts. Families are awesome.
Articled 2 from Homer
One of the most successful English breeds of cattle, the Angus has long been the cattle “business” breed. Its black color is highly sought after in crossbreeding programs as a potential seal of Angus quality. Perhaps the most representative breed in cowherds, the Angus holds a well earned spot amongst all beef breeds.
The Angus breed began in the northern regions of England. Originally both red and black cattle were equally selected for in attempts to get high quality traits wherever possible. In the latter half of the 18th century, the cattle of the Aberdeen – Angus counties of northeast Scotland were being heavily used for the improvement of other regional cattle herds.
The very first Angus cattle were imported into the U.S. in 1873. George Grant, a Kansas rancher wanted to develop the Angus as his primary breed and introduce it to the region as an ideal beef option. At their first public appearance in the 1873 Missouri Exposition, the Angus cattle were negatively received. At this time polled cattle was not yet appreciated for its benefits within feedlot cattle, and the black color was too different from the common red coloration seen in the familiar cattle. Angus ranchers however were not dissuaded and continued to promote the Angus and also began to crossbreed it with the hardy Texas Longhorn. The results were polled, very hardy black calves – a very appealing cross to past critics. A heavy importation of Angus cattle direct from Scotland followed, at its peak 1200 cattle were brought in from 1878 to 1883.
The American Aberdeen- Angus Breeders’ Association was founded on Nov 21, 1883 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1950, it was renamed the American Angus Association. Today, it holds the distinction of being the largest purebred beef registry in the world.
Angus beef hardly needs an introduction; it is renowned for its fine marbling texture and superlative eating qualities. The Angus given a minimal amount of days on feed will manage to repeatedly turn out Prime and Choice grade meats. The Certified Angus Beef program was the first of its class. It provides Angus beef producers an increase in the marketability of their stock directly leading to higher premiums. For the consumer, it provides a consistent eating experience and the assurance of knowing what one is purchasing. In order to qualify under the phenotype requirements of the CAB programs, the cattle must exhibit at least 51% black coloration as well as the absence of non-angus traits (Brahman humps, dairy cattle conformation). The surge in the CAB program has led to a wide-reaching escalation of breeding black into cattle stock, most often using Angus bulls.
Angus bulls are an excellent crossbreeding option. Breeding to an Angus bull virtually eliminates calving problems. The resulting calves are born polled minimizing injuries in feedlot situations. The Angus’ black coloration also serves as “sun block” of sorts, helping to prevent cancers and sun burning of the udder. The ChiAngus (Angus x Chianina) and the SimAngus (Angus x Simmental) are only two examples of angus hybrids that carry the qualities of both breeds making leaner, more efficient grain converters with higher performance numbers.
While the high quality traits of beef are not exclusive in the Angus, their numbers increased due to their consistency in producing quality. There is little lacking in the Angus breed; it meets the needs of a demanding cattle industry on a wide range of points. It is a docile breed, relatively hardy; cows calve easily and have excellent maternal instincts. At feedlots its meat quality proves its superiority time and again. When in doubt, it is the cattleman tradition to go black—a time tested strategy that has served them well.
I chose this article because it talks about the history of the Angus breed.It shows that the Angus is a well known breed that originated in Northern England. It also talks about the feed quality in the Angus breed.

my poem
World problems
By Kristopher J. Lanoue
The world is falling apart
Wars going on everywhere
People die in the streets
Everyday cause someone didn’t care
If they starved or not
We have people calling others racist names
We have gangs killing mothers
The government’s aim
To destroy the world we love
We have the governments making the people go poor
With taxes used to fund a war
We the people didn’t want
The rich sit in their homes watching their plasma screen TVs
Driving their Lamborghinis
Driving their gas guzzling SUVs
Causing pollution destroying the ozone
Making this world fall apart
Into thousands of pieces

It also showed how even a butterfly is affected bye the war.It also showed the determination of the butterfly to find a place to land.it also made me feel that amongst this horrible world that there is some beauty.It also showed that no matter how grim the situation is don't give up on this world and that it will get better sometime in thye future
The 8 reasons to choose angus from Homer
Eight Reasons to Choose Angus
Angus is rapidly becoming the most widespread and keenly sought after temperate beef breed in the world. This expansion is due to the greater profitability which can be achieved using Angus. Here are some of the reasons why beef producers are choosing Angus:
1. Market DemandBoth domestic and export markets currently pay a premium for Angus cattle. Feedlots targeting the high quality Japanese market prefer Angus because of their growth and marbling ability. Several feedlots in Australia feed almost exclusively Angus cattle for the long-fed Japanese B3 market. Angus weaners are also in high demand by re-stockers for pasture finishing programs targeting a wide range of markets from domestic steers to heavy grassfed export bullocks.
2. Market VersatilityAngus is well known for their tremendous market versatility. They have the ability to grow to heavy market weights quickly without becoming over fat. They also have the ability to finish at lighter weights if desired. Angus has excellent carcass quality, high muscling and moderate maturity patterns providing maximum market versatility.
3. Superior Fertility and Maternal AbilityAngus females reach puberty early go in calf quickly and continue to breed regularly to a late age. Angus has a reputation for maintaining high fertility even under difficult seasonal conditions. Angus cows are excellent mothers with good milking ability. They are easy calving, easy care cattle.
4. Meat QualityAngus are known throughout the world for their ability to consistently produce the finest high quality beef. Straight bred and crossbred Angus steers are keenly sought after for pasture and feedlot finishing programs to target high quality beef markets. The superior meat quality of Angus cattle comes from their ability to lay down intra-muscular marbling (taste) fat during the finishing phase, together with excellent tenderness, texture, flavor , meat color and fat color.
5. Hardiness and EfficiencyAngus are found in all areas of Australia from the high altitudes of the Monaro, with cold temperatures and variable seasons to the boggy conditions experienced during wet winters in Gippsland, Victoria. They are also found in hot, dry conditions of central Australia. Angus cows forage well on steep hillside country. They are hardy enough to look after their calves and still go back in calf in dry, tough years. There are no cancer eye problems with Angus or their crosses.
6. Best All Round BalanceOne of the most important attributes of Angus is the tremendous balance of highly fertile, productive females and high quality carcases suited to a wide range of markets. Different breeds excel in different things. Angus are the best all rounders. They are used in crossbreeding programs for their maternal ability, market value, carcase quality and for their growth and hardiness.
7. Large Documented Gene PoolAngus cattle are bred on every continent in the world. The large number of Angus animals provides an immense pool of available genetics that allows the breed to respond to new challenges and commercial demands. Australian Angus breeders have successfully utilised bloodlines from many countries. Performance recording identifies high performing animals in Australian production systems that are then used widely through AI providing commercial breeders with bulls to meet market demand.
8. Committed Service BackupAngus Australia provides a wide range of educational, recording, and promotional services to members and their clients. These include the provision of up to date technical information, the promotion of Angus to feedlots, processors and retailers and the development of branded beef products to increase the demand for commercial Angus cattle.

second poem narrative by k-sever
I chose this poem because how even in our country the land of the free, we still have people being judged because of their skin color their weight and their grades it showed how much certain people hate the way they look and feel because of the way people talk to them. it was a poem of how ugly this time is in this country.
tylers music article
Music
“Music has charms to soothe the savage beast” Or to put it more simply – music can make the wild person become peaceful. Do you agree?
How does music affect your mood? Do you use music to change your mood at times? For example, what music would you choose when you are sad? What music would you choose when you want to be inspired to work? Do you like to hear music when you’re thinking or working? If so, what kind of music?
Have you ever been serenaded? Has someone ever sung a song just for you? Or have you serenaded someone?
What kinds of music do you enjoy? How did you learn to enjoy music? Have you ever studied music or music history? Do you play or sing? What are some favorite songs? Why do you like them?
Do different generations choose different types of music in your native culture? Explain. Do parents and kids argue about music in your native culture? Explain the different viewpoints of different generations in your native culture.
In what way has music most significantly affected your life?
Do you listen to music on the radio, on CDs or tapes (or records), or do you attend concerts? Tell about a musical event that you attended.
Do you like to perform music? Do you play an instrument or sing? Do you enjoy singing harmony? Do you like karaoke? What music do you hear or play at parties?
Is it common for children to learn musical skills on instruments or in singing in your native country? Describe what is typical. If yes, do they learn in school or in after-school activities?
Even though some people can’t sing a note, the Bible encourages us to at least make a song in our hearts:
“Don’t get drunk with wine . . but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord . .” Ephesians 5:18-19
One of the psalms of the Old Testament tells this:
“Sing a new song to the Lord, sing praise to him in the community of his faithful people. Let Israel be filled with joy because God is their Maker . . Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with harps and tambourines. The Lord takes delight in his people. . . Let them sing with joy even when they are lying in bed.” Psalm 149:1-5
It's generally known that listening to music when feeling down or disappointed can provide relief. What may not be commonly known is that music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax. There is even an expanding field of therapy called music therapy which uses music for healing. The big problem is that some people misuse the effect of music by listening to consecutive and random music and so result in making themselves feel worse!!

For all Angus people from the Boss.
To all the Angus people on here I was looking for one of my articles when I came across the first issue of Gelbvieh World that I had received and the article that is put in by the American Gelbvieh Association's director was about a new way to market the Gelbvieh breed. Now you’re asking how does that matter to the Angus, but hold on we will eventually get there. In the Article it talked about Volkswagon marketing their car not as just a car, but the driving experience of the Volkswagon and the ownership pride that comes with it. This made a lot of sense to me for when people are told that they will look more sophisticated or cool in a Volkswagon then it makes them want to buy one. It should work the same if people are told that being a Gelbvieh breeder they will be on the cutting edge of the beef industry. This all works on human psyche because when it's told that something will make it look cool or sophisticated it makes people want to do it.Now before you go "well all you’re doing is playing a mind game with people" all this is being backed up by facts. In 2008 Gelbvieh bull producers saw a large increase in the sale of bulls, many of them being bought by Angus producers. The reason Angus people are buying into Gelbvieh is because the Angus breed is starting to become so inbred and stacked in bloodlines it's having genetic disorders and diseases. Diseases like the curly calf disease that causes calves to be born with curled spines and frail bones and most of the time they are still born. So Gelbvieh is clearing the air so to speak. Some producers are going with straight Gelbvieh's so that eventually they can come in with Balancers and even out the mix in the cowherd. So Angus looks like your coming to play with the best, Gelbvieh.

Championship Round
The championship round is here. The two competitors are.... In the Xbox corner, weighing in as the third sequel, majoring as an online shooter, Halo 3! In PlayStation's corner, weighing in as the first game of the series, majoring as a free roaming role playing game, also known as an RPG, Infamous! Infamous move in with the ability to free roam around the whole city. Halo counters with a major arsenal of normal and unormal weapons. They hit each other at the same time with killer story lines. When Infamous recovers, the game hits Halo with the ability to choose from heroic or evil. Halo sends a flying strike with customizable armor. The games collide sending out the Master Chief from Halo and Cole from Infamous. The final punch was thrown. Infamous lies on the ground after being hit my Halo's awesome online multiplayer. That's right, Halo 3 comes out on top and is named champion of, " The Best Game of All Time!" We have seen old games, new games, online game, nonline games, and Halo 3, the champion of all!

Elimination Round
It is time for three of my top 5 games, to be eliminated. The two left will be put into the championship round. Let the eliminating begin!
There is one game that is obviously not going to make it. I'm sorry Donkey Kong fans, but the game is old, not up to date and is basically the same thing with harder levels. Yes it did inspire many other great games, but now is only played once a year at E3 just to beat the record. It was a great arcade game, but I'm going to have to let it go.
Now it gets hard. The next game that will be leaving is..... World of Warcraft. It is amazingly fun. But the fact that you have to have online leaves nonline people playing something else. The $15 dollars a month doesn't help either. It's a way for them to make money, and a way for other people to loose money.
Finally, the last opponent to leave will be... Modern Warfare. The Multiplayer is great, but can get boring. The lack of the ability to jump high an doge things leave you crouching a lot. The game is fun for a while, yet gets boring after playing for a bout a month. The single player campaign is nothing special either. Just another war game.
Now that three have been eliminated, Infamous, a PS3 only game, will go up against Halo 3, an only Xbox 360 game. Who will be champion? Tune in to the next blog to find out!

The Other Three
The other three of my games in my top 5 are made for or more popular for their online capabilities.
First, World of Warcraft. This game is only for the computer and has to be played online. World of Warcraft, also called Wow has over one million people who play. The game has two expansions and one on the way. There is Wrath of the Lich King and Burning Crusade out now. Cataclysm is on the way and will be released in 2010. Expansions offer new areas, new characters and professions, and new missions. The characters are divided up into the Alliance, and the Hord. The alliance consist of Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Night Elfs, w/ Burning Crusade Dranie, and soon Worgen with Cataclysm. The Hord consist of Orc, Undead, Tauren, Trolls, w/ Burning Crusade Blood Elf, and soon Goblin with Cataclysm. In Wow you can fight with or against other players. The worst part of having this game, the reason many people don't play, is because it cost $15 a month. I like the game, not the price.
Second, Modern Warfare. I have been saying Modern Warfare 2. Now I'm focusing on just the Modern Warfare series. Call of Duty 4 is the real actual Modern Warfare. There is Call of Duty 1 through 4 and then Call of Duty World at War. World at War didn't do nearly as good as Call of Duty 4, the one before that, so they did a sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, by making just Modern Warfare 2. The game is a shooter game. You have modern weapons. In campaign you lead your squad, but most people play it to play online. The online is great. You fight against other people. There is a leveling system to where after so many kills, your character levels up and unlocks new weapons, power ups, and different types of camo. This game is by far the best realistic war game.
Finally, Halo 3. The third part in what is to be a five part series. Halo three is a science fiction, futuristic war game. In campaign you are the supernatural Master Chief, who's mission is to blow up the Halo rings. You go around space and to other planets driving unormal vehicles, and shooting aliens with amazing somewhat normal guns, and extremely unormal alien guns. That's only half of the story. The best part of the game is the online multiplayer. It also has a leveling system and achievments that unlock cool customizable armors. There are many different match types and alot of cool maps to play on. Halo 3 is one of the few games to get rated a 5 out 5 on Xplay. Halo 3 will be a fierce competitor.
First, World of Warcraft. This game is only for the computer and has to be played online. World of Warcraft, also called Wow has over one million people who play. The game has two expansions and one on the way. There is Wrath of the Lich King and Burning Crusade out now. Cataclysm is on the way and will be released in 2010. Expansions offer new areas, new characters and professions, and new missions. The characters are divided up into the Alliance, and the Hord. The alliance consist of Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Night Elfs, w/ Burning Crusade Dranie, and soon Worgen with Cataclysm. The Hord consist of Orc, Undead, Tauren, Trolls, w/ Burning Crusade Blood Elf, and soon Goblin with Cataclysm. In Wow you can fight with or against other players. The worst part of having this game, the reason many people don't play, is because it cost $15 a month. I like the game, not the price.
Second, Modern Warfare. I have been saying Modern Warfare 2. Now I'm focusing on just the Modern Warfare series. Call of Duty 4 is the real actual Modern Warfare. There is Call of Duty 1 through 4 and then Call of Duty World at War. World at War didn't do nearly as good as Call of Duty 4, the one before that, so they did a sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, by making just Modern Warfare 2. The game is a shooter game. You have modern weapons. In campaign you lead your squad, but most people play it to play online. The online is great. You fight against other people. There is a leveling system to where after so many kills, your character levels up and unlocks new weapons, power ups, and different types of camo. This game is by far the best realistic war game.
Finally, Halo 3. The third part in what is to be a five part series. Halo three is a science fiction, futuristic war game. In campaign you are the supernatural Master Chief, who's mission is to blow up the Halo rings. You go around space and to other planets driving unormal vehicles, and shooting aliens with amazing somewhat normal guns, and extremely unormal alien guns. That's only half of the story. The best part of the game is the online multiplayer. It also has a leveling system and achievments that unlock cool customizable armors.

Two of my Top Five Games
I want to start out with the two games that are not for online play. They would be Donkey Kong, " Shocker", and Infamous, also a shocker, but in a different way.
Donkey Kong was released in 1981, made by Nintendo. The unusual thing about this game is that the player played to defeat Donkey Kong the ape, not to play as him. The players would play as Mario who would later become a hit and leave Donkey Kong to play with some bongos, as in Donkey Konga, and be in the cast of some Mario games. The object of this game was to avoid the barrels that Donkey Kong threw down the ladders and platforms while trying to get to the top. Other thing such as fireballs would try to stop Mario, but if you were lucky, you would find a hammer that would help solve that problem. Now why would Mario want to climb to the top and knock DK off of the highest platform. To save Pauline, Mario's girl. That's right, not Princes Peach. People still think that the girl that was geting strangeled by Donkey Kong was Peach. Why they added Peach to the mix of it all and took out Pauline, I dont know.
Now for Infamous. I have played this game for a total of about 30 seconds at a target, and I was amazed. I took the lead character Cole, flew off of a MAGLEV train useing electric powers, did a flip, jumped and held on to a street lamp, and fried a citizen. I"m not to familiar with the story, but from what I can tell, Cole knew that for some reason he had to steal an electric bomb, that blew up anyways. The world was then toasted, not having much effect on anyone but Cole. Cole had electric powers. The goverment was overthrown and left with no power. The world was an anarchy. The story mode is filled with drama and can be changed, according to how you completed your missions. You can choose from evil ways that will benefit yourself, or heroic ways that will benefit others. This game, along with a PS3 to play it on, will for sure, be on my Christmas list

My Articles
My three articles are about three of the games out of my top five that I haven't played but for a few minutes, or wasn't familiar with. Those three games would be Donkey Kong, because it is ancient, Infamous, because I don't own a PS3, and Modern Warfare 2, because it hasn't be released yet.
My first article was on Modern Warfare 2, and how it has a record breaking preorderd count. To preorder is to order the game before it has been released, to where you have a slip, take it to the store and they give you the game. Sometimes when you preorder games you get a free tee shirt or a special copy of the game or some kind of bonus. The game is predicted to have sold over $500 million dollars within the first week of sales. The game cost $60 and comes out November 10th.
My Second Article was a review on Infamous. It talks about the movement of the character, combat, moral choices that effect the game, mission types, and a killer story line. GameSpot Gave Infamous a 9 out of 10
My 3rd and last article was written from a guy who helped make the original Donkey Kong. The guy never reveals his name in the article. It talks about stress, the making of Atari and some of his other jobs that involve,Robotron and Pacman.

Top 5 Games
I have done my research, and narrowed it down to the top five video games of all time. They are, The old Donkey Kong, World of WarCraft, Infamous, Modern Warfare 2,
and Halo 3. Donkey Kong is an old game that was it's own machine and then played on the Atari. World of Warcraft is a massive online game played only on the computer. It has many expansions like, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and soon Cataclysm. Infamous is made by a popular company name Sucker Punch. Infamous only is playable on the PS3. Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The Call of Duty franchise is a complex system. Modern Warfare 2 is playable on PS3, Xbox 360, maybe psp later on, and a different version based on the same thing will release on the Wii. Finally, Halo 3. The third part in what is to be a five part series. That is unless Bunjie or Microsoft, the two makers of the game, back out. Halo 3 has a somewhat of an expansion that just released called Halo 3: ODST, or Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. The Freshmen class,aka Quinton, has been talking about this expansion for about a week now. ODST has more maps, a different campaign, and firefight, but I will talk more about that in a different blog. Halo 3 can only be played on the Xbox 360.Those are the five games. Let the battle begin!

Game Poem's
I found my poems about video games from www.helium.com. They had a contest on the best poems about video games.
The poem written by Charels Ray came in third place. His poem talked about how far you can get into a video game, loose the game, and be sorely dissapointed by being put at the begining of the game to play it over.
The poem written by Crystal Warner came in second. It talks about how addicting games can be. Games that put you in a real life situation, can have the effect of the player wanting to be the character in real life.
Last but not least, the poem written by Ray Charles. The point of the first place poem talks about how from the begining of games, to the end of games, are like an imaginary life. This poem is more realistic by comparing actual life to a video game.

Life Is Like a Video Game: by Daniel Taylor
Life is a lot like an action videogame
First of all, the player must create a profile
To me this part is like a baby being born
Then the player must read and learn the back story of the game
This is like a child learning, from infant to teenager, all the basics needs in life like communication and learning to do things for himself
Then if the player thinks he's ready for the real thing he will be given some basic weapons and will be able to adventure out into the world but he must remember that he has a goal to achieve
This is like a teenager being sent off to college, his parents give him some basic knowledge and he has to survive on his own. He can
go wherever and do whatever he chooses but he must remember that his parents are expecting him to graduate
Soon the player will realize that it's not as easy as it looked when other people were playing the game. So he must use his use his weapons more tactfully and wisely
This is when the teenager gets to college and realizes that he can't do it like his older brother or sister who attended college before him; he must do things differently like study longer and harder
Soon the player will face mini bosses and main bosses
To me the mini bosses are quizzes and tests', and the main bosses are finals at the end of the semester
The player may die a few times but if he wants to beat the game he must learned what killed him the first time and be ready the next go round
Although nobody can come from death, people can feel like they have been knocked down in life. So this is like when the teenager falls into a slump or fails a course, he must be ready to take the exact same class and be prepared to progress where he failed on the first attempt
As the player progresses he will find that his basic weapons can be upgraded so he can get pass stronger enemies
This is where the teenager finds that the last class he took will help him with the class he has to take in the future
As the player nears the end of the game he will be able to use all of his skills and weapons to defeat the final boss. And when it's all over he will be ready for the sequel.
This is when the teenager who is now grown, graduates college and gets ready for graduate school, or wants to further his education.

Life is Like a Video Game: by Crystal Elizabeth Warner
The monotony and noise
of the highway
reminds me sometimes
of a game I played once
on PlayStation;
Not sure of the name,
you know-some kinda racing.
and I know that I shouldn't
If I couldn't I wouldn't-
but once in a while;
it brings me a smile-
to drive like I was
playing that video game
of the highway

Life is Like a video game: by Charles Ray
In and out of a maze
With goblins on my tail.
Up and down I go
Never sure what awaits
Around the corner.
Just when I think
I have reached the
Finish line,
A flash of light
And crash of music
Informs me,
GAME OVER
With goblins on my tail.
Up and down I go
Never sure what awaits
Around the corner.
Just when I think
I have reached the
Finish line,
A flash of light
And crash of music
Informs me,
GAME OVER
First Poem Reflection
I chose ‘’Broken Wall’’ by Tracy McGrady for a couple reasons. One was because it describes the daily practice as a star player. It also creates an imagination in your mind. It also like the exaderations that are in the poem. Another thing that it talks about, is the building and working out part at the end of the poem. Lastly, it talks about the stress rising again.
poem narrative III
this poem was my favorite it shows the harships that life will hold in your future. it has more of a realisticism view than most. it is deep and meaningfull. it also gives us hope to see the future.
Poem 2 from zach
Jumbled confusion,
Crashing sounds,
Screaming howls of passionate anger.
What a glorious release,
An escape
From the expectation of perfection.
Perceived as the sounds of Satan,
bye those hanting voices,
Ones that speak,
What is unspeakable for many.
To some,
These sounds are Jesus,
They listin as if to worship.
To others,
Thes sounds are a peice of paradice,
A place that protects sanity.

First peom
I ask you to pull a chair, Wall
Stretch and lighten and peel away your frustration
Create a window
and walk thru to me
They tell me, Wall
that the rings have blinded you
That a red ring chokes you
while the black ring consumes your soul
They tell me, Wall
that the torch weighs heavy
upon your mighty frame
That your corners ache
not the trembling floor
All they want to demolish us, Wall
I see it, feel it
They take Great pleasure incracking our foundation
But one nail can't break us, Wall
One chip can't stop 'chips
We will build you again, Wall
Stronger
But until then I shall hold you
Us
Yes, yes
stress THIS
We will rise again, Wall
Stretch and lighten and peel away your frustration
Create a window
and walk thru to me
They tell me, Wall
that the rings have blinded you
That a red ring chokes you
while the black ring consumes your soul
They tell me, Wall
that the torch weighs heavy
upon your mighty frame
That your corners ache
not the trembling floor
All they want to demolish us, Wall
I see it, feel it

Yes, yes

the Future III
The future only to be thought about, Is ahead but not far as we would hope, The future so cold but blessed too, The future holds the lives of so many, One mistake taken upon a person, Can ruin a life or two, But the future is the path ahead, as other paths will make you go, The future so close will hold, your life in its hands, so be holy for one slip, can cost you your future. richard belis
my fourth poem by tyler hendricks
This is a poem of things that make me happy
The things that make me happy my make somebody else cry
Music it sets my mood or changes my mood
Friends make a bad day good or a good day bad
Family makes a good day better and a bad day worse
Food makes me feel better after a good work out or really bad before a good work out
My girl friend can make me feel really good and then really sad
Lifting always good never bad
The things that make me happy my make somebody else cry
Music it sets my mood or changes my mood
Friends make a bad day good or a good day bad
Family makes a good day better and a bad day worse
Food makes me feel better after a good work out or really bad before a good work out
My girl friend can make me feel really good and then really sad
Lifting always good never bad
3rd poem by K-Sever
Butterfly in Baghdad
By Kimberly Olson
Ugliness was everywhere
In this city of war and despairDeath was all around me
Hanging so heavy in the air
The buildings lay in rubble
There were remnants of exploded cars
Each day I felt new death occur
Carving more emotional scars
To feel the tremble of a bombing
And know life just ended for many
To hear the volley of the gunfire
Crushed my hope till there wasn't any
But then I saw a butterfly
The symbol of new life
And I knew someday there'd be an end
To all this ugliness and strife
It may not end tomorrow
Or even during our lifetime
But the ugliness will go someday
Beauty will once again sublime
I followed that little butterfly
To see where it might land
Just where would it find a flower
In all this dirt and sand?
It fluttered here and fluttered there
Searching for beauty in this place
It even once came up to me
And tried landing on my face
That butterfly never once gave up
In its search for what it wanted
It flew and flew and flew and flew
Its persistence never daunted
Then there in the middle of nothing
That ever once had given me hope
Was a pretty little flower
Then I knew that I could cope
At least one of two things will happen
With everything that you endure
It will tear you down and rip you apart
Or build you stronger than before
So look to the little butterfly
When you're at the end of your rope
Let it be your inspiration
And never EVER give up hope!

EQ war from the Boss
To all Angus enthusiats if I can not get you to believe that Gelbvieh is better beef then I will simply out class you. For back in August the Gelbvieh association unvieled there new DNA registering system. So now there will be no confusion when your heifer calves and it falls in the date that the sire could be the A.I. sire or it could be the clean up bull you will simply have to call up the associationa and get your free DNA kit. They send it to you and all you have to do is take a hair sample and a small blood sample send it back and they tell you who the sire is. Now I have not done much investigation into how the other breed association are comeing along with there DNA, but I do know that Gelbvieh is on the cutting edge. So Angus people you can't keep up with the Gelbvieh technology so next time when you don't know who the sire is to your calf just give it your best guess.
The future
The future is bleakWhen you're a freak.The future is danger, When you've got anger.The future is dark, When you can't sing like a lark. The future is badWhen you're always sad.The future is bad, As you can see.The future is bad, For you and me

3rd poem from tyler
Music is what makes you move Music is what makes you groove Music can be good or bad depending on how its usedMusic can make you choose different clothes to wear Music can make you change your hair Music can make you choose new friendsMusic can make you want to danceMusic can make you fight Music can make everything alrightMusic can take care of you when your aloneMusic can make everything feel like homeMusic can harm and take awayMusic can make you want to stayMusic is the only friend I haveMusic is my mom and dadMusic is what keeps me alive When I feel like I can't survive
third poem from Tevin
I chose this poem because it is about happiness. My essential question is what makes me happy. I can relate to allot of what this poem is saying. This is like the entire theme to my essential question. I can use allot of these ideas. I really like this poem. Being independent is a very joyful thing. Happiness is bliss because sometimes you or someone you know is better off not knowing something. Sometimes people might not be ready for the truth. So the saying you cant handle the truth is true in some situations. All and all that’s why I picked this poem.

second poem from Tevin
I chose this poem because it is about family. My family makes me very happy. A large portion of my paper will be about my family. It also talks about love. Love is one big thing that causes happiness. I love allot of people because I have a big family. My family is awesome, I always have allot of fun with my family. Although my family is very dysfunctional we are really close. Family is cool because you can yell and hate each other one day and be all cool the next, and be having fun. Some people don’t get along with there family. I get along with most of my family, except for my cousins. My cousins are cry babies. And that’s why I choose this poem

poem 1 from tevin
This is my first poem. I chose this poem because I liked it, it is short simple, and it says allot without saying much. There would be no life if there wasn’t death, there would be no good without the bad, there would be no hear if you don’t have a soul, without you brain you would not have feelings, there would be no cause if there was no consequence for that cause, if there was no night there would be no day without day there would be no nigh, without love you would not be able to hate. It is saying that we have to have the good to have the bad and without the good there would be no bad. It is saying that life is better with both happiness and sadness. This poem has put allot of words into just a few simple phrases.

k-sever second poem
STOP!
There they picked on the little black kid.
He was an outcast in this unjust world.
Those rumors they spread,
the violence that occured,
they pointed and chanted
"go back to your kind!"
That girl down the street,
starved heself to fit in.
To be able to where a size two,
or to run down a runaway.
She dropped out of school to continue her wrong life.
Why can't these problems stop?
Why can't people relize what they put themeselves into?
Take the time to think.
sit for a while.
rethink your actions over,
snd hit the reset button.
To do another chapter in life.
And to change your ways.

starved heself to fit in.
To be able to where a size two,
or to run down a runaway.
She dropped out of school to continue her wrong life.
Why can't these problems stop?
Why can't people relize what they put themeselves into?
Take the time to think.
sit for a while.
rethink your actions over,
snd hit the reset button.
To do another chapter in life.
And to change your ways.

second poem from tyler
Music is what makes you move Music is what makes you groove Music can be good or bad depending on how its usedMusic can make you choose different clothes to wear Music can make you change your hair Music can make you choose new friendsMusic can make you want to danceMusic can make you fight Music can make everything alrightMusic can take care of you when your aloneMusic can make everything feel like homeMusic can harm and take awayMusic can make you want to stayMusic is the only friend I haveMusic is my mom and dadMusic is what keeps me alive When I feel like I can't survive

The Cattle Country
by Emily Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) Rating: 0.00
Votes: 0
Up the dusk-enfolded prairie,
Foot-falls, soft and sly,
Velvet cushioned, wild and wary,
Then--the coyote's cry.
Rush of hoofs, and roar and rattle,
Beasts of blood and breed,
Twenty thousand frightened cattle,
Then--the wild stampede.
Pliant lasso circling wider
In the frenzied flight--
Loping horse and cursing rider,
Plunging through the night.
Rim of dawn the darkness losing
Trail of blackened soil;
Perfume of the sage brush oozing
On the air like oil.
Foothills to the Rockies lifting
Brown, and blue, and green,
Warm Alberta sunlight drifting
Over leagues between.
That's the country of the ranges,
Plain and prairie land,
And the God who never changes
Holds it in His hand.

what makes you happy poem 1 for tyler
Are you happy right now or sad? Are you bitter about your present condition? You wonder what is wrong with your lifeYou wonder why others are happyAnd question why some are so sadAre happy people born that way? Or happiness is a state of mindWhat can make you happy? Will having more money make you happy? How much money do you need to make you happy? If you are single and not happy! Will having a new lover make you happy? Will getting married make you happy? If you are married, and not happy! Will having more children make you happy? Will sleeping with other people make you happy? If you are a professional and not happy! Will changing your profession make you happy? What can make you happy? Will getting drunk everyday make you happy? Will taking a new drug make you happy? Will buying a new car make you happy? What can make you happy? Will moving to a bigger house make you happy? Will been promoted at work make you happy? Will been the head of your organizationMake you happyWhat can make you happy? Always remember that what makes You happy can make the others sad

The Core of the worlds problems
We sit in our history classes
learnig about the masses
of people dying
we keep trying to understand,
how easily a man,
can handle having blood
on his hamds,
how easily our president
can send our residents
to war without considering
how the murdering of
thousand;
bodies creating moutains;
how easily that anchor man
count off the body count
like it dosen't amount
higher than a baseball score;
how easily millions can die
and people deny
that it ever happend.
we find it so odd
that the graet god
would let this go on;
how easily our president
can see all of this
and still resist
to dismiss our persists
to stop it.
But maybe the problem
isn't any of them.
Maybe we should stop
giving them so much
credit and putting
them on pedastools
and shelves.
maybe we need to better
look at the situation
and relize that the
problem is ourselves.

I decided for the next two weeks i am going to right a poem on rock bands and music because music makes me happy. I mean when your mad or just bord or doing somthing I dont know what but its always good to listin to music. It can be any kind of music its whatever you like. I listin to music all the time I can listin to a song once and remember half of it im not a very good singer but if theres a song that I like I would sing half of it or the hole song. I mean whats more exiting than being alone in your car or in your room or any were els alone and theres a song you like and you dont want to sing to it cause if you dont sing to a song when you are alone then you are crazy. Theres a few mane bands that I listin to all the time and when im alone I sing along with the song 1.Chiodos 2.Staind 3.Slipknot 4.Coheed and Cambria 5.Killswitch engage 6.Avenged sevenfold thouse are a few of my favorite bands to listin to and sing along to when im alone. That is why I decided to reserch some poems on for two weeks because I love listining to rock music when im alone and im not a good singer but I still sing to the songs anyways and that is why I picked this to be my EQ for two weeks.

2nd poem from Homer
The Outback Cattle Drive - 2002
4/5/2002 - 9/6/2002
© Neil Hulm
"There's a cattle drive, six hundred head,
Deliver them all;" the boss man said.
"It's a charity run, there's work to do;
down the Birdsville Track, Two Thousand and Two."
The mob was mustered up Queensland way
from the channel country day by day:
where the Cottonbush and Georgina flow
and the desert oak and coolibah grow.
Thousands of visitors came along,
they laughed and cheered and some sang a song;
a few rode on horses and cracked their whips,
while others rode in on their Desert Ships.
There were four wheel drives and jeeps and utes;
many station hands and young recruits
and the planes wheeled in on the landing track
for this is the year of the Great Outback.
From overseas came the cam'ra crews,
the journalists came to spread the news;
down the Birdsville Track to the Marree Pub;
five hundred odd k's through desert and scrub.
With close to two hundred horses there,
and all in use, but a few to spare;
when I looked them over, greys, blacks and bays
my thoughts took me back to my droving days.
To stock routes down on the Kosci' slopes;
the old stockyard and the greenhide ropes;
mustering in the mountains far and wide,
with my trusty pack horse close by my side.
I soon returned to this dried out land,
this waterless waste of desert sand
where a man might leave for a far off run;
another might die `neath the burning sun.
Where the camel trains of long ago
came through the sands where the west winds blow;
with a bale each side of a tortured back,
from the shearing sheds down the Birdsville Track.
Now the camels graze with kangaroos,
with native dogs and the wild emus,
where the bushland horses are running free,
and the Cooper runs to the inland sea.
We hear the cry of a young curlew,
the screeching call of the cockatoo,
and the black swans fly from the river bed,
the water is low and the stream is dead.
A heeler sniffed at the sun-bleached bones;
a beast had died on the desert stones;
he turned away and went back to his job,
and hunted the stragglers up to the mob.
Along the Birdsville day after day,
on through the dust where the whirlwinds play;
ev'ry beast there knew if it made a slip,
it would feel the sting of the drover's whip.
I ran my eye `cross a drover's horse,
his coat was long and dusty and coarse,
but don't be fooled, he's slippery as grease,
he can spin around on a five cent piece.
He'll give you a ride in dust or mud
and he'll swim the river's raging flood;
he'll make you ride and you'll hang there tight,
when the northern bullocks rush off at night.
There's up and down in the droving game,
some livestock wild and others are tame,
and a good day turns to a better night
if the yellow belly are on the bite.
With winter rains the wild flowers stand
in a carpet clear across the land;
then the heat waves bounce `neath a cloudless sky
and the soft young flowers wither and die.
At last we came to the town Marree
where the thousands turned up there to see
drovers, cattle and the big caravans,
blue cattle dogs, red dogs and black and tans
Now town dogs growl with a nasty frown
when the drover's dogs invade their town
and they chase and snarl and turn on the heat,
but the dogs from the bush are hard to beat.
As the sun went down the mob was penned,
the Great Cattle Drive had reached its end;
then the draft was over early next day
and the Charity Sale was on its way.
The Auctioneer in his high-peaked lid
called to the buyers, "What am I bid?
There's a hundred penned and a few to come,
they will grow and fatten, round as a drum:"
"Raise up your hand or give me a word;
what am I bid for this first class herd?
Just put them away and give them a feed
for none do better than the shorthorn breed."
The buyers bid and they stuck like glue
and raindrops fell before night was through.
The corellas were screeching back and forth
and the magpie geese flew back to the north.
Then an old man asked, "What's doing, son?"
I spoke about the Charity Run,
then silently turned and took off my hat
and I knew it was more, much more than that.
We camped around for a few more days
but the crowds had gone their diff'rent ways
and the droving team said they'll all be back -
for the next big Drive down the Birdsville Track.

1 poem from Homer
THE COWBOY
He's wonderin what he's doin there
holdin his tin cup tight
the north winds blowin hard
and the stars are shinin bright
He's thinkin of his past
the days of long ago
the fencin,the brandin,
and ridin the rodeos.
He remembers pushin those cattle
across the wide open plains
over mountains,thru valleys
and in all kinds of terrain.
Thru the heat and the sun
thru the cold and the snow
he kept pushin on
when others would have said no.
They made him the RANGEBOSS
because he never shirked a task
everyone said it was his job,
but it's the LEGACY of his past.
His name..... THE COWBOY.
